free shaped photo collage templates. i don't know if you've noticed this, but a lot of paper scrappers are using photo collage templates, printing them out and putting them on layouts. you can find a tutorial on how to use the templates here.  here's an example where i used katie pertiet's photo cluster number 16 on a layout. if you shy away from multi-photo layouts - this is a great way to get back into them again. i'm not a tilt-er so having someone else tilt for me is freeing!
